THE OHIO STORM.
The Terrible Destruction at st. Glars
VILE.

WHEELING, w. Va, April 1S.-When
the whirlwind struck ST. Clairsville 1t was
split into two, and the ascending and
whirling columns united in mass OF
black clouds in the heavens. The de-
struction at st. Clairsville was, if any.
thing underestimated by last nights dis.
patches, and the scene one Of ruin and de-
struction where the tornado struck. The
streets were strewn with wreckagc and In
some places the roads were for time i'm.
passable, with broken trees, Frustrated
telegraph poles and wires and fences.
There was rush of sight.seers to ST.
Clairsville to-day. All telegraph commu-
nication being cut off there was great
anxiety to learn now bad the situation
of affairs was; no casualties were report.
ed last night. To-day the following are
reported: G. W. Troll, manager Of the
Belleair & st. Clarsville road, has q frac-
tured arm; ]. w. Wiley, right leg broken
and internal injuries; the little son Of s.
W. Cochrane, the Northern railway ex-
press man (coloreD, was fatally injured.
Mayor Davis, of st. Clairsville, sent out
an appeal for financial help. At Martins
Ferry the distress is even greater than at
st. Clairsville, losers in most cases poor
working people. A meeting was held
this afternoon and committee appointed
with Mayor Kcllar at its head to admin
lister to the wants of the sufferers. The
means sent the mayor will be well placed,
as nearly fifty families have no shelter
except what is afforded by the skating
rink placed at their disposal.

SPURIOUS VIRGINIA BONDS,
sensation Among the stat Omelais OF
th Old Domlnion.

RICHMOND, Va. April 16.-Quite a
sensation was created here to-day, in
financial circles. and among the State of.
officials, by the discovery that an un.
known quantity of spurious Virginia
bonds known as Riddleberger threcs
were for sale in the Northern markets.
The explanation arrived at is that during
the legislative session of 1882, the Ken.
dali Bank Note company of New
York, engraved bonds for tho entire
issue OF the Riddleberger bonds under
authority OF the act known as the Rid
dleberger act. These bonds were well
executed and We're accepted by the State
but they were subsequently elected and
a contract for executing the bonds was
given to the American Bank Note com.
pany, OF Now York. The Kendall com.
pany, however, shipped bonds in three
boxes one Of which the State refused TO
receive, the other two they took aud
paid the express charges on them The
first box, containing bonds of the de-
nomination of 1000 each from No. 1 To
l33 were returned TO New York, Ken
dali county refused to take thom back.
II is now believed that this box of bonds
was sold by the Express Company MS an
unclaimed package, 1t evidently fell in.
TO the hands Of sharpers, who forged
the name of ID ,R. Rively. Treasurer.
and II. A. Smith, Second Auditor"
proceeded to dispose of them. II Is
not known what amount of spurious
bonds are on the market. DIR. r. Rively
was treasurer but !. A. Smith Is a fiction.

The U. 8. supreme Court Declares IL
Unconstitutional.

Washington, April ia decision was
rendered in the Supreme court of the
United States on Monday in the railroad
permit case of Henry s. Barrons against
Geo. w. Burnside, sheriff of Linn county,
Iowa. in error to the Supreme court of
that State. The question presented by
the case is the validity of the act of the
general assembly of Iowa, approved
April 6, 1886, entitled can act requiring
foreign corporations to file their articles
Of incorporation with the secretary of
State and imposing conditions upon such
corporations transacting business in this
State" The object of the act is TO COM
pei foreign railway corporations to take
out permit for transaction of business
within the State, and it is made a condi-
ton of the granting of the permit that II
the railroad company is sued by a citizen
of the State it shall not remove the case
to the federal court. This court in an
opinion by Judge Blatchford, holds that
as the Iowa statutes make the right to
permit dependant upon surrender of for
eign corporations of privilege secured 10
IL by the constitution and laws Of the
United States the statute is void. The
judgment of the Supreme court of Iowa
is reversed and the case remanded with
directions to enter judgment discharging
the plaintiff in error from custody. The
corporation concerned in the case is the

AGAINST COERCION.
Gladstone's Letter on the Great Cues.
ton OF English Politics.

LONDON. April 1.-THE anti-coercion
meeting held in Hyde Park last night
was the biggest outdoor political meet.
ing ever held in London. Gladstone has
issued to the miners in the north of
Great Britain, majority of whom are
enthusiastic followers of him, the follow
ing letter, which amounts to manifesto:
II cannot refrain from calling your
attention to the meeting to be held in
HYDE Park next Monday, and to which |
understand 10000 of the workingmen OF
London intend generously to devote thcii
holiday. If eyer there was time wher
it was to the interests Of English work.
ingman to bethink himself, this is the
time. 1t is the first time when the coer.
cion bill, If passed, is to be passed by
England's vote alone against the voices of
Scotland, Ireland and Wales. 1t is the
first time when such bill will have been
passed under the sanction OF householders
at large, who were never enfranchised be-
fore the last elections, '85 and SO. 1t is
the first time coercian has been proposed
without an attempt by the ministry to
show, what we know they cannot show
"a state of exceptional and fragrant or
growing crime. II England is to coerce
Ireland for crime Ireland can reply that
relatively to population, she has less
crime than England In my opinion the
rejection of the bill is even more needed
by England than Ireland. For Ireland II
is suffering, and she knows how to suf-
fer. For England it is a question of shame
and dishonor-and to cast away shame
and dishonor is the first business of the
great nation. In 1879 meeting Of En-
glish work ingmenfirst gave effectual force
tothc movement for Bulgaria, which was
brought about by the election of 1880.
May the meeting of Monday next ring
the death knell of the worst, most insult
ing and most causeless coercion bill ever
submitted to parliament.

THE ARENSDORF JURY.
Charges and Hints OF bribery ON both
sides Of the Case.


Sioux Cry, April 10. The jury in the
case of John Arensdorf, charged with the
murder Of Rev, Geo. G, Haddoek. dis.
agreed and were finally discharged by the
court. The jury stood eleven for acqut-
tai and one for conviction Dennis
OConnell was the juryman who stood
out for conviction, and when the jury
was before the court, he said his iudg
ment was final, The court thereupon
discharged the jury from further service,
A Daily News Sioux City special says;
There were but few persons In the court
room when the judge asked the Haddock
jury TO report When the foreman an.
nounced that eleven Jurors We're agreed
to acquit the prisoner Juror O'Connoll
who is u farmer living in Liberty town
ship, arose and said in a feeling manner
that he did not wish to be considered n
stubborn man. but he had taken an oath
before God and man TO honestly deter.
mine the case as far as he was concerned
and that he had cndeayored to regard
that obligation. III he were TO remain In
the jury room month he could not and
would not change his opinion. No one
who heard Juror OConnell and witnessed
his emotion, could doubt the sincerity OF
his motive Judge Lewis thercupon dis

THE ARENsDORF CASE.
Disagreement OF the Jury, One Yot-
Ing Guilty.

Sioux CRY, April 1.-THE jury In the
Arensdorf case disagreed after being out
twenty hours. Judge Lewis called the
jury before him at noon to-day and asked
them If they had decided upon verdict,
Foreman Webster. who was the juror so
severely criticised by the judge in his in.
structions, answered that they had not.
The judge then said he supposed each Of
them had decided in his own mind as to
what the verdict should be and they all
replied that they had. The judge said he
did not wish to keep the jury out to pun
ish them. but to give them time to deliber.
ate.
Foreman Webster said he didn't be.
licve they wanted the case taken from
them yet; there was one stubborn man
in the jury. but he thought before to-
morrow night they could arrive at yer.
dict Juror ID. OConncll arose, and al :,
dressing the court, said that he had made
up his mind upon the case in the fear of
God, and without any regard to the favor
of man. He had considered the case
carefully and wished to do justice as be.
tween man and man. and to his country
and to his God, and il he was kept there
three or four weeks he should not change
his opinion.
The judge said that this being the con-
dition Of affairs it would probably do no
good to keep the jury out longer and he
accordingly discharged them. This leaves
the case in tho same condition as it was
before the trial began, so far as the court
Is concerned.
There is considerable comment on the
street upon the action of the judge in
discharging the jury. and the friends Of
Arensdorf are loud in their denunciation
of his action, while others say that in
view of the statement of Juror o. Connell
he was justified in doing as he did,
The first ballot stood ten for acquit
tai and two for conviction. c. G, Goss
was the other juror who voted for con.
viction, but after three ballots he went
over to the majority, leaving O'Conncll
alone.
After the jury went out, one Of the
principal attorneys for the defense stated
that he had urged, when the case first
came up, that the plea of self.defense be
made, but his associates overrulcd him,
This Is q significant fact.

FORTUNES TICKLE FAyORS,
showercd Down on Two Chicago
Young Men.

Chicago CIilS) Merchant Traveller, Apr1a
The last list of numbers which drew
prizes In The Louisiana State Lottery
brought welcome surprise to two per.
sons In Chicago. Only poor man can
appreciate the feelings of Peter NJ Yer
mas when upon looking tho list over
discovered that he held one.tenth OF the
ticket which drew the capital prize of
$4,000 Mt the drawing Of March 18th
The ticket was numbered G6,55l. Yer
mas did not go crazy ms some men
might when he reflected that he was the
happy possessor Of $1,000, for although
the one-tenth ticket drew $4,000 tho
ticket was the joint property OF Peter Nj.
Vcrmaas and his brother Cornelius and
each received $1,000. Peter NJ. Vermaas
is superintendent OF the adyertis'
ing department OF ID. b, Fisk d Co,
Wabash avenue and Washington street,
and lives at No. $40 South Robey street
Cornelius Vermaas was until recently
prcssman for Rand, Mentally & CO., but
is now employed by Apologize & Bush
corner Van Buren, and Clark streets. To
a representative Of the Merchant Traveller
Mr.. Peter Varmaas said that he and his
brother had been investing small sum
each month for two years in The
Louisiana State Lottery The only prize
they won before this was onetenth OF
$300-$30 In February they contributed
s3 between them with which they bought
three 81 tickets. Two Of the tickets were
blanks on the drawing, but the third was
the goose that laid the golden egg, and
drew $40, 900, as one tenth of $3.50, 900,
the capital prize. The tickets were taken
in Peters name, and on discovering that
one was lucky winner he turned 1t
oyer to the Adams Express Company
which collected the $15, 900 and paid II to
Peter NJ Vermaas in gold Peter
Immediately turned over half TO Cornelius
and 1t was placed in bank. Neither of
the brothers exhibit any symptoms Of
big head as the result of their enviablc
luck They told the Merchant Traveller
that they would continne in their present
occupations and let the money lay in
bank until they find good real estate
investment, when they will convert it
into land, and build homes for them.
